New Hand-Knotted Rug 8' 6" x 11' 4" (102" x 136")

Design and Motifs

This turquoise-toned rug stands out with its subtle, almost hidden motifs that emerge through a delicate play of light and shadow within the pile. The pattern resembles a soft grid overlaid with faint, traditional Anatolian symbols, gradually fading into the background. The motifs are arranged in horizontal bands near the lower portion, distinguished by a series of interconnected geometric shapes. These patterns recall classic Anatolian kilim designs, such as the Elibelinde motif symbolizing motherhood and fertility, and the Ram’s Horn motif representing strength and masculinity. The soft repetition of these motifs creates a calming rhythm, evoking resilience and continuity.

The vertical faint line near the center of the rug adds a modern twist while reflecting the weaving’s handmade character and the natural variations that come with it. This blend of traditional symbolism and understated modernity gives the rug a unique narrative – a fusion of cultural heritage and contemporary aesthetic.
